Here are the pictures of the heater element for my '57 Westy. Anyone have any ideas where to find another one? Also looking for an owners manual for same unit. Thanx, Kev |

Have you checked for a grounded element by placing one probe on a terminal of the element and the other to the outer casing. If you get continuity, then the element is grounded and needs to be replaced. If not, it could be a timer contact. Hope this helps! |

I didn't try that one. I don't think I would want to run the machine without water but I could try running it with the heater wires disconnected and see what happens. |

Yes I probed the heat element and it did show it was grounded. I still am going to chck the timer cam by opening it up and see what's going on. |
